They sought action against the kin of accused and lodged a case against them for threatening them. "Accused Shashi Singh's son Naveen Singh, Kuldeep's brother Manoj Singh and Kunnu Mishra along with two others visited the victim's house on July 7," the letter read.

The victim's family stated in the letter they told them that they had bribed the judge and secured the bail for Shashi Singh and Kuldeep Singh.

The letter also said on July 8, Shashi Singh's husband Haripal Singh came to the victim's house and again threatened them. They also attached photograph of Haripal Singh marking his presence at their residence and visual of car to support their complaint.
